1 Supreme Court of Florida No. AOSC18-17 IN RE: ADOPTION OF AMENDED EXPERT WITNESS RATE STRUCTURE CHART FOR COURT APPOINTED EXPERT WITNESS SERVICES IN FLORIDA S TRIAL COURTS ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER In 2017, this Court issued In Re: Court Appointed Expert Witness Services in Florida s Trial Courts, Fla. Admin. Order No. AOSC17-12 (Feb. 2, 2017), which adopted the report Expert in Florida s Trial Courts. 1 The report identified factors affecting the cost of providing expert witness services and recommended comprehensive fiscal and operational solutions for the management of expert witness services, including a statewide rate structure for the payment of certain types of evaluations. The standards and best practices codified in the administrative order have generated cost savings across the state and have improved the delivery of expert witness services provided in the trial courts in Florida. 1. Available at CourtsReportandAppendices2016.pdf.
2 The judicial branch continues to examine budgetary issues related to due process services, recently revisiting components of the expert witness rate structure implemented in AOSC Accordingly, based on feedback from trial courts around the state and recommendations from the Trial Court Budget Commission and the Commission on Trial Court Performance and Accountability, we are issuing a revised statewide rate structure chart that was included in AOSC17-12, to specify the types of evaluations and provide clarifications to the current chart. Most notably, the new chart identifies adult and juvenile mental illness and intellectual disabilities or autism competency exams in the respective standard competency rate category, while allowing the payment of exams exceeding this rate with supporting extraordinary circumstance documentation. Other changes include: making the hourly testimony rate for standard juvenile competency match the rate set for standard adult competency; making clear in a notation on the chart that payment amounts higher than the rates listed in the chart are allowable in extraordinary circumstances, with prior approval by the court and with the reason documented in orders and invoices; and clarifying that payment of certain travel expenses is permissible but that payment of travel time is not. The Court hereby adopts the revised statewide rate structure chart in section V. Funding/Payment of the attached Expert Witness General Recommendations, - 2 -
3 and. The remainder of the document is unchanged. The new rate structure is effective upon signing of this order. DONE AND ORDERED at Tallahassee, Florida, on June 22, ATTEST: Chief Justice Jorge Labarga John A. Tomasino, Clerk of Court - 3 -
4 Expert Witness General Recommendations, and Note: A standard of operation is defined as a mandatory practice and a best practice is defined as a suggested practice to improve operations but, due to local conditions beyond the court s control or budgetary constraints, is not required. I. ASSIGNMENT OF SERVICES A. Staffing Model 1. Circuits shall determine a staffing model that provides for the efficient and effective use of expert witness services, while maintaining flexibility in order to best fit the jurisdiction s needs. B. Qualifications of Court Appointed Expert C. Selection of Court Appointed Expert 2. Circuits shall consider the ethical implications and the appearance of bias in determining a staffing mode. 1.

Expert witnesses conducting court-ordered evaluations should have at least five years of experience in their area of expertise. 2. Expert witnesses should be encouraged to complete a portion of their continuing education requirements in their area of expertise, as it relates to court appointed expert witness services. 1. Circuits shall select court appointed expert witnesses from a registry maintained by the circuit. 2. Circuits shall initially appoint one expert for the evaluation in standard adult competency proceedings. 3. Circuits shall initially appoint one expert for the evaluation in standard juvenile competency proceedings (effective upon complementary statutory and rule revisions). 1. Circuits should consider the use of expert witnesses from other circuits if the appropriate expert is not available in the local circuit. 2. Circuits should consider cultural diversity in the recruitment and retention of expert witnesses. 3. Circuits should consider contacting professional associations for possible use of a statewide listserv for recruitment of expert witness candidates. A. Forms/Records Management B. Contracts with Expert II. MANAGEMENT PRACTICE 1. Circuits shall use the Uniform Invoice for Expert Witness Services developed by the Office of the State Courts Administrator. 2. Circuits standard orders of appointment shall identify factors, if applicable, that must be addressed in the expert witness report. 3. Circuits shall keep all records pertaining to the payment of expert witness services in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and procedures and in such a way as to permit their inspection pursuant to Florida Rule of Judicial Administration Circuits should audit invoices prior to submission to ensure compliance with the approved fee schedule. 2. Circuits should share forms and guidelines developed locally, regarding the provision of expert witness services, with other circuits, if requested. 3.

Circuits shall develop a procedure for approval of fees in excess of the statewide rate structure, to require a court order or approval from the chief judge or trial court administrator
5 C. Registry of Expert A. Evaluation and Retention of Expert B. Issues with Expert 1. Circuits should be allowed to apply cooperative contract provisions that would allow an expert to be hired using the contract provisions of another circuit. 2. The Office of the State Courts Administrator should draft template language for an expert witness service agreement that may be used by the circuits, which contains standardized language in the areas of liability, billing procedure, qualifications of experts, cancellation/termination and record retention/auditing. 3. Circuits should include notice in their contracts with expert witnesses that alerts the expert that a videographer or court reporter may be present. For example, Expert understands that Florida law ordinarily permits a party to have a videographer, court reporter, or court interpreter present during an examination and agrees to the presence of a court reporter or videographer when one is required by Florida law. 1. Circuits shall develop and maintain a registry of approved expert witnesses, by field of expertise. The registry should indicate whether each expert is willing to travel to provide services in other circuits. Best Practice 1.

Each circuit shall continually evaluate the performance of the expert witnesses that it contracts with or employs. 1. Circuits shall have procedures for dealing with inappropriate behavior, complaints, or performance issues of expert witnesses. 2.

Presentations to judges pertaining to expert witness services should be included periodically at judicial conferences. 4. Presentations regarding the use of expert witnesses should be included in some appropriate way at the Florida Judicial College. 5. Presentations regarding the use of expert witnesses via webinars should be considered as an alternative to traditional in -person educational opportunities. 1. Circuits shall keep on file the curricula vitae of the expert witnesses who have been approved for inclusion in the registry. 2. The Office of the State Courts Administrator shall provide education to court administration staff on invoice use and Uniform Data Reporting system input
6 1. Circuits should offer informational sessions for court approved expert witnesses on administrative and court protocols. 2. Circuits should determine a procedure to notify court approved expert witnesses on changes to administrative and court protocols. 3. Circuits should consider posting information regarding expert witnesses. Including protocols and administrative orders, on the court website. V. FUNDING/PAYMENT General Recommendations to the Trial Court Budget Commission 1. Funding allocations should take the total need for funding into consideration in order to bring uniformity and equity to the level of services provided across the trial courts. 2. The expert witness funding formula should be modified to include expert witness events as well as expenditures. 1. Circuits shall issue a comprehensive written policy to document rates, policies, and procedures relating to expert witnesses. Circuits may choose the form of the written policy and include rates based on the following rate structure, allowing pay above the statewide rate structure for extraordinary circumstances.
